Table 9-2 lists the daemons, and briefly describes their functions. To
avoid confusion and redundancy in this section regarding names,
Table 9-2 also indicates the generic names used in this document to

To propagate the principal database entries on the primary security
server to secondary security servers, complete the following steps:
NOTE Some steps are specific to the primary security server or to the secondary
security server. Ensure that you perform the task on the appropriate
server.
Step 1. Create the propagation configuration data using the following steps:
1. Log on to the primary security server as root.
2. On the primary security server, verify that the correct information is
added to the krb.conf file to locate all secondary security servers
and to identify the correct default realm of the primary security
server.
